I love this idea - that a well-worn home is a beautiful thing. I couldn't agree more that some imperfections in a home add character and warmth. Homes that have all brand-spanking new furniture are definitely missing a certain something - I suppose it's patina!! Thanks for sharing this train of thought, Pam!

Sometimes it's hard to differentiate between "patina" and "worn out" :) but your inspiration photos are gorgeous! I think these items add such interest, especially if there is a good story to go along with them!

Patina is great whether newly added or aged over time. I like it when mixed in with other elements. It is rustic but could look refined in some settings, like something that has stood the test of time. I love all the pictures.

Oh I love this post. A little "patina" in every room, sure is 'grounding'. LOVE that metallic grass cloth, and I think that bedroom is the dreamiest ever!!!Have a great day, PamNancyhttp://www.powellbrower.com/2012/03/rules-of-thumb.html

Tee hee...I like Cathy's comment. I almost think of patina when I think of your home - you've got those rustic touches here and there. I think that first photo is from the home that was featured in the NY Times not long ago. I'll have to go look up the name of the design firm. I also always think of the Gianetti's when I see or hear the word Patina, do you have their book, Patina Style?

I love this look, too, and posted a huge piece on it a while ago and convinced myself that I needed some patina in my life. But it just doesn't fit with the rest of my stuff. I have to keep reminding myself I can't do every style in one house! LOVE the Greige images...one of my favorite blogsStacy

I love everything about the first image, and those stairs are just too much! I am loving the posts her book...would you believe me if I told you I bought it and haven't cracked it open...sad but true! You are making me excited to sit down with it on an open afternoon!
